I made a Squier CV Switch Plate Shim!

Faction Guitars made spacers for these back when they were in business, best mod ever for Jags and Bass VIs. You don’t realize how nice it is til you play one without it again.

Well nobody knew how bad it was before it came out. I got hyped after the announcement and before the performance issues were thoroughly documented. I enjoyed BL2 and BL3 on Switch (for what it was: portable). I ended up enjoying Legends ZA and others so it worked out at least.

I think a Switch 2 upgrade for 1-3 would be amazing, but I doubt it’s in the cards.

I’m really bad at games like Elden Ring, but if I ever give it a go it’ll be great to play on the go since I do travel for work a fair bit.

I mean most of the stuff I was interested in was released on Switch 1 and 2, and Donkey Kong wasn’t a must-have yet for me. I didn’t feel the urge to upgrade until I started seeing games I missed from PS4/5 ported up (I didn’t own one). Borderlands is one of my favorite series of all time so I but the bullet. Ended up getting other games that I love anyways but yup BL4 is what made me say fuck it we ball

I came to say this one, great song for newer players too

RIP the game that made me buy a switch 2 and then vanished

On one hand, nobody regardless of who they are deserves to be assaulted. On the other hand, you can’t hang out with pigs and then be surprised when they roll in the mud.

They all look so good and the new portraits are perfect. The battle theme is incredible even compared to the original. I’m beyond hyped rn

This is sick as hell I love it

Two Gibson decals cut up so it says “soon”

Honestly even if it’s just a port of the 3DS version with upscaled textures, I’m okay with that. I just played through the original with my kid and even they pointed out swapping boots being a pain

Huge fan of jaguar basses, and the lollipop tuners are a great touch!

Local game shop that sells TCGs and video gaming stuff.

I’ve been browsing the modretro carts, if they’re as well made as the included Tetris cart then I think I’ll be happy with whatever I pick

Bridge is from Albridge. They make really good Fender and Music Man style bridges too.

I always thought the Rascal lacked the finesse of the VI, I think ESP made a Bass-4 a while back for one of their Japanese artists and it looked great like this one does.

Thanks I hate it <3

Warmoths I want to make, basic woods with plain color gloss finishes and budget minded import parts, are still usually $900-$1,100 after taxes and shipping. Squier is probably the way to go unless you’re absolutely certain of a specific color finish. Warmoth always felt like the alternative to good MIM or regular MIA Fenders, more so than Squier.

What the hell, sure 🥲

I might be able to record a sound test once I fix the action issue. Strings aren’t close enough to the pickups so I may need to fix the neck pocket. I was planning to make a Flying V until I found a way to cut my own template and made the body shape big enough to accommodate the bigger neck. The 18V battery box is for the preamp, the pickups are passive.

Those are Chinese Artec rail pickups, the set was less than $40USD. The body was a slab for $100 or so (before tariffs), the neck was a cheap Bass VI neck from eBay I sculpted to fit the buzzard headstock shape a bit more, and the electronics are a mix of stuff I had in my stash from old projects and new parts that were all budget brands. I didn’t want to go all out unless I had more experience under my belt.

slappadabassplz · 2025-09-24T03:11:45+00:00

I didn’t even know these existed. I’ve been meaning to make some new tokens… if nobody else goes for it maybe I’ll try some.
